Evil Casts


Evil Cats


Habitats

Cats are affecting the whole world.Geneticist Stephen James O'Brien, of the National Cancer Institute in Frederick, Maryland, remarked on how successful cats have been in evolutionary terms: "Cats are one of evolution's most charismatic creatures. They can live on the highest mountains and in the hottest deserts.They are extremely adaptable and are now present on all continents except Antarctica, and on 118 of the 131 main groups of islands—even on sub-Antarctic islands such as the Kerguelen Islands.
Feral cats can live in forests, grasslands, tundra, coastal areas, agricultural land, scrublands, urban areas, and wetlands.[181] Their habitats even include small oceanic islands with no human inhabitants.[182] Further, the close relatives of domestic cats, the African wildcat(Felis silvestris lybica) and the Arabian sand cat (Felis margarita) both inhabit desert environments,[4] and domestic cats still show similar adaptations and behaviors.[31] The cat's ability to thrive in almost any terrestrial habitat has led to its designation as one of the world's worst invasive species.[183]
As domestic cats are little altered from wildcats, they can readily interbreed. This hybridization poses a danger to the genetic distinctiveness of some wildcat populations, particularly in Scotland and Hungary and possibly also the Iberian Peninsula
Though house cats and wild cats have a lot in common, their genetic differences reveal how the domestication of house cats may have worked. Areas where the domestic cat's genome differs from wild cats are linked to adaptations in fear and memory/reward
conditioning.
The changes in fear conditioning would make house cats more difficult to startle — though this doesn't explain the neurotic tendencies of many domestic house cats. Genetic changes in the memory/reward system would make it easier for house cats to quickly link rewards (like treats) with actions. House cats can, in theory, attribute rewards received to 'good' actions faster than their wild counterparts. During neonatal development, domestic house cats have higher numbers of the progenitor cells that form the cortical areas responsible for processing reward information. This leads to larger cortical areas that are responsible for processing reward information – fine tuning house cats' ability to hone in on what exactly led to the cat treat.

Mr Waite's Son Noah

My teacher Mr Waite has a son named Noah. Noah broke his leg playing rugby, so Mr Waite brought Noah in to the class for the day. Noah was playing on his tablet. He looked like he was enjoying it. Noah was in a wheel chair. He was wearing an orange jumper, green socks,and grey shorts. He has blond hair and blue eyes. I think he was playing a racing game. Noah's wheel chair had a pole with a cushion attached to it. Noah was turning the tablet like it was the staring wheel.

My Favourite Adventure Books

My favourite adventure books are Percy Jackson books. When you read a Percy Jackson book it feels like you are in the adventure with them, that's why I like Percy Jackson books. They are the best books that I've ever read. Sometimes I curl up and my sister reads a chapter to me. If you want a great adventure on a wet day try reading Percy Jackson books.

Sleeping Beauty With A Twist

Once upon a time in a land full of magical creatures lived a girl named Aurora. She loves to ride her horse Prince and is always doing something on him, either feeding the pig, gathering berries, walking the dog, or several other things. But one day she did something else on Prince. She discovered show jumping. She decided that since she wanted to do show jumping, she was going to need a coach. She started thinking, "I've got it so she asked her nans."No! They all said angrily at the same time."We are not going to be the coach of some sport that you think you can do." "You can find a different coach. Now that that's out of our way, DO THE DISHES!" said my nan gold-worth. In my head I was wishing that my future would be to be more than a dish washer maybe I would even be a famous horse rider.
